Through selections from his speeches, homilies, and other writings, this work presents Pope Francis's vision of mission--his understanding of what church in a missionary key looks like. It shows how the central themes of his papacy are integrated around the theme of mission and how he seeks to move the whole church forward in a missionary direction--not simply developing the church's thinking on mission.
